Bibury Trout Farm occupies 18 acres alongside
the River Coln in the middle of a village described
by William Morris, founder of the Arts &
Crafts Movement, as `the most beautiful in
England'. Primarily a working farm, it rears over 250,000
trout annually to restock fisheries across the country
as well as up to six million eggs and a million fry.
Visitors can learn all about rainbow and brown trout
while wandering in the lovely surroundings, seeing the
main processes including grading and feeding. The
`Catch Your own' fishing area allows visitors to do just
that (open weekends March to October and local
school holidays), and the farm shop sells delicious fresh
and smoked trout and pâtés, as well as preserves,
ciders, plants, cards, books and gifts.
The Terrace Café is a popular spot to pause for
a drink and a snack, and the play area is guaranteed
to keep the little ones busy and happy for hours. The Farm stands on the B4425
between Cirencester and Burford. Bibury is a place of many attractions, including Arlington Row and
Mill and the Church of St Mary. Opening hours of Bibury Trout Farm are 9am to 6pm (Sunday
10am to 6pm) in summer and 10am to 4pm daily in winter.
